About the Item
A Fine Louis XVI Style Patinated and Gilt-Bronze Mounted Centre Table, After The Fontainebleau Model, By François Linke.
This fine table has a circular top of burr-thuya wood banded by a gilt-bronze rim of stylised anthemion leaves. The four scroll supports with paw feet are applied with sculptural herm figures of angels called Renommées ailées (winged figures emblematic of Fame). The concave sided platform stretcher is centred by a blue ceramic vase.
Signed ‘Linke’ to the top of one scroll support. Stamped 'Linke 4308' to back base gilt-bronze rim.
French, Circa 1910.
This table is known as the Fontainebleau model because its antecedent was found in the third salon of the sovereign prince’s apartment at the Château de Fontainebleau where it recorded in an inventory 1810 as ‘un gueridon en bois de racine d’iff, le quart de rond à feuilles d’ornements et à palmettes supporté par 4 cariatides en bronzes, une parties des dorures au mat et reposant sur un plateau orné de bronzes dorés au mat et un vase de porcelain au millieu’ (J.-P. Samoyault, ‘Meubles entrés sous le Premier Empire. Musée national du Château de Fontainebleau. Catalogue des collections de mobilier’, Paris, 2004, No. 176 ‘Guéridon F 1069C’, p. 248). That table is attributed to the master cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler and the bronze maker Pierre-Philippe Thomire.
In the late nineteenth century the model is recorded by Théodore Millet and Emmanuel Zwiener. When Millet’s business closed, an auction of his furniture patterns was held in 1905 from which it is recorded François Linke bought the model for this table. Christopher Payne notes that ‘the first one, made by Linke in 1907, has a porcelain vase on the stretcher, simulating porphyry; the others have blue porcelain, all supplied by Samson, the Parisian manufacturer’ (C. Payne. ‘François Linke, (1855 - 1946), The Belle Époque of French Furniture, Antique Collectors' Club, (Woodbridge, UK), 2003, pl. 228, p. 208.
François Linke (1855 - 1946) was the most important Parisian cabinet maker of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and possibly the most sought after cabinet maker of his period.

François Linke
François Linke, the most important French ébéniste of his time. Born in Bohemia in 1855, Linke moved to Paris in 1881 where he established his now-famous workshop and showroom. Linke's superior work spread quickly through France and he soon eclipsed even the finest furniture houses of Paris. Today, Linke is counted among the most important furniture makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work is dearly coveted by collectors. Linke is celebrated for designing highly innovative furnishings by infusing the Rococo style with the Art Nouveau trends of Paris and this Louis XV style desk exemplifies his highly original style.
